(4) Adjust the timing belt so that 23 cogs will fall within the
range between the timing marks on the intake and exhaust
camshaft sprockets. Secure the belt at this position with
a paper clip, etc.
(5) While aligning the exhaust camshaft sprocket timing
marks, install the timing belt on the idler pulley, crankshaft
sprocket, and the timing belt tensioner in that order.
(6) Ensure that the timing marks on the exhaust camshaft
sprocket and on the crankshaft sprocket are in alignment.
(7) Loosen the timing belt tensioner securing bolt, which has
temporarily been tightened, a quarter to half turn. Utilizing
tensioner spring tension, give tension to the timing belt.
(8) Remove the paper clips, etc.
(9) Make two turns of the crankshaft sprocket in clockwise
direction to ensure that the timing marks on each camshaft
sprocket are in alignment.
Caution
Operation under item 9 above is performed in order
to give a constant tension to the timing belt by utilizing
camshaft driving torque. Observe the number of turns
of the sprocket mentioned above. Do not turn the
crankshaft sprocket counterclockwise direction.
